Hey Trey. Thanks for all the years of Making good music,i was introduced to your music with One of your Earlier EP's ...around 2000...awesome Artwork Also with the weird looking totem poles
More of this! He was going to post monthly writeups covering all the details behind Book M, for its anniversary. First post was a fascinating read, then he stopped for some reason. You should have him continue that "series" on this channel. Goes much deeper than one video.
This is so amazing, and the first long-form interview that I'm aware of that really goes this far out with Trey. I am only 19 minutes in, but already I'd like to add, as someone that knew Bob when I was a literal kid and has been friends with his oldest daughter, my assertion that the publishers really pushed Robert Anton Wilson into a lot of that "irresponsible" writing-- an assessment that I agree with, to be honest. Given that pressure, combined with the inner turmoil that his family was constantly plagued with (more of that kind of dangerous cosmic repercussive activity!), he haphazardly splattered his extensive knowledge into so much unrefined output which contains volatile and unmetered mixtures of esotericism, quantum mechanics, nearly every form of sacred art, chaos magick, and a whole dirty laundry list. Bob certainly would have preferred, and had originally designed his career to have an extremely structuralist, encyclopedic scope and depth, highly organized, with proper paratext and advisories. Notable conflicts with the publishers were their usual dismissal of his highly researched and edited citations, footnotes, indices, &c. His final corpus unsettled him, and he was not very proud of it and the legacy that we left the world. I wish that I could have assisted Hilaritas Press in re-editing and re-releasing his works. I have a million stories from my childhood that corroborate Trey's cautionary tale about the Sirius Sushi Night. This is all so exciting and great. I could spend another hour typing about just what's transpired thus far in this video. If I make further comments, I will refrain from mucking up the comment field, so they will appear in reply to myself here as a thread. Thank you so much for this interview! Thank you, Trey!
This was a fun discussion but I wish you'd asked him more about his journey from an atheist antitheist metalhead to an Orthodox Christian . . . metalhead. I would have liked more details on what his spiritual journey was, we could hear him talk music anywhere.
No music has ever hit me like Book M hit me. It was THE ONLY thing that made sense to me at the time. It communicates on the level he was attempting even if you don’t know anything about the grail thesis he shaped it from.
Corbinistes, unissez-vous! Vive l'âme imaginale! But seriously, will the public ever get access to talks from the Corbin conference? I know more than a handful of interested people would be quite eager to be able to review and consider the matters discussed.
For myself Trey is the top of the heap, and Book M was incredibly impactful for me.

Very insightful interview - enjoyable start to finish. Please publish the SC3 conference footage!
Great interview! Very heavy, yet apparently only scratched the tip of the iceberg. Would love an in-depth series.
Such an amazing cross section of music theory and esoteric thought!!

Where did he post that (first post)?
This is gold. Thank you.
Love this episode! Would kill for more episodes with Trey (to the point of at least an episode devoted entirely to each sub-band/release) thank you!
I listened to some of the audio earlier this month and am elated to have video. You asked questions I've had on my mind for many years.
also will there be any videos released from the Corbin conference?
So interesting and intricate a process of conversion...

Please feel free to muck up this comment thread, I'm all ears.

Love and Light to you both xXxXxXx

I was a lurker at WoM. I remember you, I hope you're doing good man.
Nice!
